FEATURES
 
New Features
  1. New TenGO Nano layout that occupies less area (same as the default keyboard) but has more accessible buttons available upfront like numbers and punctuations.
  2. New switch menu (TenGO Selection key) at bottom right to switch between layouts, dictionaries, help, tutorial and settings.
  3. Correction of case of words - For e.g. after finishing the word, to change the first letter of the word to uppercase, simply press "Shift" twice
    and you will toggle the case of the first letter. Likewise, tapping "cap" twice will toggle the case of the entire word.
  4. Quick edit of words - If an earlier typed word was not selected correctly (i.e. wrong word choice), you can double-click the word to select it and then click on the "red cross" (delete word) and you will be presented with all the word choices again.
  5. Adding words to library - You can now highlight any word and add the word to the word library. Do this by double-clicking on the word to highlight it, click "FN" key, and select the "AB+" icon. The word will now be added to the library.
  6. Adding canned messages/phrases - You can now store commonly used phrases/sentences/web addresses, etc, by simply highlighting the entire passage, click "FN" key, and select the "CAN with chat bubble" icon. To retrieve any passages, just click "FN" and tap on the letter that the passage begins with. Thus, to retrieve a stored carefree@canned.com, just click "FN" and tap on "c".
  7. You can now fix the order for 2 character words (e.g. fix the positions of word choices like if, of, is). This is set in the settings page.
  8. Symbol list is now customizable. This means you can pick the order of punctuations/symbols to be displayed. This is also done in the settings page. Click on the Customize Symbol List button.
  9. TenGO v2.0 will be launched as a base program while other languages can be downloaded as language packs. Languages are easily switched via the TenGO Selection key.
  10. Tapping repeatedly on the punctuation/symbol key will cycle the pages of punctuations/symbols.
  11. There is a new setting in TenGO Settings that allows the user to set TenGO as the default keyboard
  12. Some aesthetic touch - individual letters are highlighted when tapped. This is to assist the Letter Tracker function (forming of actual letters typed on the right hand side of hint display)

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
 
  1. PPC 2003, PPC 2003 Second Edition, and Windows Mobile 5.0 compatible, including Phone Edition
  2. True VGA Support (TenGO now supports Real VGA mode)
  3. Install only in the Main Memory (i.e. cannot install in external storage or memory cards)
 
 
HOW TO UPGRADE (For v1.XX & v2.00 Users)
  1. Please remove the previous installation of TenGO before installing TenGO v2.10. For uninstallation of TenGO, the best method would be to select another input method like the default keyboard, soft reset and remove TenGO using Remove Programs. (*Note* Previous saved words will be lost as the two versions are using different databases. Sorry)
  2. Install TenGO v2.10 only in the Main Memory (i.e. cannot install in external storage or memory cards).
  3. Re-register at http://www.tengo.net/tengo_register.php for the new unlocking license key for TenGO v2.10.
 
 
KNOWN ISSUES
 
When I select TenGO from the input menu, the TenGO keyboard does not appear?
Set TenGO as default keyboard method in TenGO settings and soft reset.
 
 
TIPS
  1. Mentally "Spell" the word while you compose the word with your stylus (spelling loudly is ok too) - All the while just concentrating on the keys you are typing and not at the display
  2. Look up at the hint window only when you have finished composing the word
  3. Select a different word choice from the hint display if necessary
  4. Check the screen output
  5. Relax and try to go a bit faster once you get the hang of it and you will be a PRO in no time!
